Hungarian Chicken Paprikash & Cucumber Salad
A few years ago I auditioned for Master Chef. What a complete adrenaline rush… I mean seriously…Holy Hell! Every emotion and feeling you can imagine explode inside you all at once. I went back to my roots and created a traditional recipe from Hungary. It is a favorite in our house and probably the most comforting and delicious dish you can imagine. It is best served along with a cucumber salad. Enjoy!
Thai Peanut Noodles
Global Warming. My dad’s favorite subject these days.
“Just look at California! 80 degrees in January! Our planet was not meant for 7 billion people!”
“It’s just going to get worse. Soon, Southern California will be under water because the polar ice caps are melting!”
And it goes on…and on….
Sicilian Chicken Marsala
My husband’s grandparents lived in Sicily for quite some time…quite some time ago. Two recipes they brought back with them and have passed on to the family is their Chicken Marsala recipe…and their Spaghetti Carbonara recipe. This recipe comes from La Siciliana Ristorante. I know this because the menu from the restaurant is framed and hanging in my dining room. It’s one of two dishes Ryan is a master at (the other being the carbonara recipe). And because I was craving it (and laid out all of the ingredients) he made it. YESSS!!!!
Hubby’s note: I LOVE this chicken recipe. Make sure you get the chicken good and drunk. That’s how you take advantage of her.
Beef and Spinach Lasagna
I have always shied away from making lasagna. It just seems like a time consuming, awful mess. That was until my brilliant mother in law parted the clouds and showed me the way…to the noodles you don’t have to boil and lay on foil and get frustrated with because they stick or rip. Thus I give you, easy as pie lasagna.
Hubby’s note: Just remember, that brilliance runs in the family.
